Christmas is a season to ask: what do I really believe? In the story of the Nativity Mary shows us what true faith looks like. She yields herself to God’s promises and holds fast to them. She trusts in God’s character even when those promises are hard to believe. And she remembers God’s action that affirms the trustworthiness of God’s promises and character.

Application Questions

1. Where in your life are you putting your faith in something other than God?
2. What would it look like in your life for you to lean on God’s promises in confident submission?
3. How does knowing God’s character bolster and affirm your faith?
4. What are five ways that you have seen God work in your life that give you confidence in His action?
